Canoein' the Charles

Last week we went a canoein' on the Charles River. It was so much fun and sooo pretty. The leaves were turning all different shades of fall and Penny was enjoying the ride. Dave did most of the rowing as I did the baby-holding, but on our way back Penny fell asleep so we both got to row and enjoy the crisp fall air. It was such a great day. Penny was looking so cute in her infant life vest. I didn't know they had such things.

Which brings me to another subject, and that is that I pretty much always assume no one is going to let you do anything with an infant. But they do! They even have special infant things! My plan was to hide in the car with Penny and then smuggle us on to the canoe after Dave had paid. Luckily, Dave's idea won out, which was to just all go in there normal-like and rent a canoe. They procured a special life jacket for Penny and although she hated it, I loved it.

Here are some gems from the day.

    Oh my gosh that is so cute! It makes me feel good to see other people still going out and doing awesome stuff even when they have a baby! Gives me some motivation to get off my butt! She is so cute, they are getting so big so quickly I hate it!

    Oh, I wish I knew how to print pictures off your blog! Dave? Do you know how I can do this? The picture of Penny being held up by Jessica, w/ pink hat and life vest is so cute! And also the pic of her lying on the dock is so cute too. Grandma, finally is getting to see what Penny looks like, because WE DON"T HAVE ANY pictures of her, yet.
    But I'm so glad you're enjoying everything Boston, and surrounding areas, have to offer.
    Love you, Mom
